BitRouter Announces 3pi ATSC 3.0 Receiver for Automotive and Distance Learning Applications

LAS VEGAS - EntSun -- CES-- BitRouter, a leading provider of software for ATSC 3.0  receivers, today announced the availability of 3pi, a Linux-based, low-cost/low-power ATSC 3.0 and ATSC 1.0 headless receiver based on the Raspberry Pi platform. The company will be unveiling its new offering during the first-ever, all-digital CES 2021, the world's most influential technology event, taking place virtually, January 11-14, 2021.

BitRouter's 3pi targets automotive and distance learning applications where direct (HDMI) video output is not required. The solution utilizes the non-real time features of ATSC 3.0 to download content into a low-cost device and then leverages an embedded web server to serve this content within the home or automobile over internet protocol (IP). 3pi uses the same proven software available in BitRouter's ATSC3pro set-top box platform.
